Item details
This shop only sells in the UK. I print cards onto a sustainable English acid free, archival watercolour paper, prepared for digital print on both sides, so I can print a custom greeting inside; although cards are blank inside unless you request printed text inside. They are packed in compostable clear bags. Prints are on digital fine art papers. I specialise in hand sewing silk and natural fibres for apparel. I often re-use packaging to send you your orders.
If you want a product which is listed as unavailable or sold out, or you want to order more cards or prints than are listed in stock, please click on Contact above this announcement to send me a message and I will let you know if it is still in stock and/or if I can make more.
Please contact me if you want a postage upgrade or if you need products sent quickly.
I studied Greek and Latin with Open University. I created this image in repsonse to a call out for artists by Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art Gallery for a show entitled Roots. My OU studies inspired the imagery.
The Greek alphabet is derived from the Phoenician alphabet. The Greeks bought from them papyrus and Murex, a purple dye which came from sea molluscs.
I created the picture using software, including digitally
drawing the font . I digitally enhanced a photo of one of my dress designs on a dress dummy to look like a headless Greek statue. The dress was made from leftovers of a dress I created for a client. Some of the draped pieces looked like a bodice of a Greek lady's robe. I already had the photo before the call out.
Phoenicians wrote right to left, Greeks left to right. The Latin alphabet has roots in the Greek. Each card and print will include more details of the history of the alphabet we currently use to write English.
